About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hey! I was lucky enough in my twenties to be offered room and board wherever I travelled in Europe. I can certainly give this back to fellow travelers.

ABOUT ME

I am a father of two young adults with whom I love sharing moments. I live in Gatineau, QC and work in Ottawa, ON. I am a Mac guy. I work hard at staying fit, evolving in the teaching business that requires a lot of energy. I live alone for now as I recently divorced.

PHILOSOPHY

Helping, giving and loving are the only things that matter to me.
